Why Kids Ask Why
(And How to Respond Lovingly)
– Jen Wilkin writes, “There are three types of “Why’s” in the small child’s
vocabulary: the Curious Why, the Social Why, and the Defiant Why. Failure to
distinguish between them is a surefire invitation for parental insanity to
ensue. Identifying them correctly, however, helps us know how and when to
respond, ensuring that we neither shut down honest questions nor
entertain unproductive ones.”
